Hand gun safety storage cabinet

Abstract

A housing container includes a front door plate employing spring hinges is hingedly mounted relative to the housing container, wherein the door plate includes a latch plate having a plurality of lock levers to be operated simultaneously and each independently pivotally mounted relative to an interior surface of the door plate, with the lock levers accessed through individual openings directed through the door plate. Upon displacement of the lock levers relative to a sliding lock plate, the lock plate is displaced relative to a latch flange portion within the container by displacement of a lock plate lug slidably mounted through a slot directed through the door plate below the access openings.

What is claimed as being new and desired to be protected by Letters Patent of the United States is as follows: 
     
       1. A hand gun safety storage cabinet, comprising, a container, the container having a top wall spaced from a floor, a first side wall spaced from a second side wall, and a rear wall, with a front wall continuous perimeter flange spaced from the rear wall having a front wall opening directed through the perimeter flange, and   a hinge plate mounted to the perimeter flange adjacent the first side wall, and   a door plate, the door plate having a door plate first end secured to the hinge plate permitting pivoting of the door plate relative to the front wall opening, and the door plate having a door plate second end, the door plate having a door plate first side and a door plate second side spaced from the door plate first side, the door plate first side and the door plate second side extending between the door plate first end and the door plate second end, with the door plate arranged to overlie the perimeter flange in a first position in adjacency therewith, with the door plate arranged for pivoting to a second position about the hinge plate to space the door plate relative to the perimeter flange, and   a plurality of access apertures directed through the door plate adjacent the door plate first side, and   a door plate slot adjacent to the door plate second side oriented between the door plate second side and the access apertures, with the door plate slot spaced from the access apertures, and   the door plate having an exterior surface and an interior surface, with the interior surface in a facing relationship with the container rear wall when the door plate is in the first position, and the door plate interior surface having a latch means secured to the interior surface for cooperation with the access apertures and positioned between the access apertures and the door plate second side for selective latching and delatching of the door plate relative to the perimeter flange.   
     
     
       2. A hand gun safety storage cabinet as set forth in claim 1 wherein the latch means includes a latch plate mounted between the access apertures and the door plate second side, with the latch plate having a latch plate first side and a latch plate second side, and the latch plate first end spaced from the latch plate second end, with the latch plate second end positioned in adjacency to the door plate second end, and a plurality of spaced guide ramps fixedly mounted to the latch plate, with one of said guide ramps positioned below one of said access apertures, and the guide ramps are canted from the latch plate first side to an orientation spaced from the latch plate oriented thereabove, and a partition wall positioned between the guide ramps and medially between the access apertures for guidance of an individual's fingers along the guide ramps, and a plurality of lock levers, with one of said lock levers positioned in adjacency to one of said guide ramps, with the lock levers positioned between the guide ramps and the latch plate second side, and a lock plate, with the lock plate slidably mounted along the latch plate, with the lock plate having lock plate recesses, and each lock lever having a lock lever first plate and a lock lever second plate, wherein each lock lever second plate is arranged for reception within one of said lock plate recesses, wherein displacement of the lock levers relative to the lock plate recesses permits displacement of the lock plate relative to the perimeter flange permitting delatching of the door plate relative to the perimeter flange. 
     
     
       3. A hand gun safety storage cabinet as set forth in claim 2 wherein each lock lever includes a lock lever axle, and each lock lever axle is oriented parallel to the lock plate oriented between the lock plate and the guide ramps, and each lock lever having a spring member mounted between said lock lever and the latch plate. 
     
     
       4. A hand gun safety storage cabinet as set forth in claim 3 wherein the lock plate includes an extension plate, and the lock plate including a lock plate second end spaced from a lock plate first end, wherein the lock plate second end is oriented in adjacency relative to the latch plate second end, and the lock plate second end includes an extension plate fixedly and orthogonally mounted to the lock plate coplanar with the lock plate, and the extension plate includes an extension plate projection coextensive with the lock plate second end for reception between the perimeter flange and the container rear wall. 
     
     
       5. A hand gun safety storage cabinet as set forth in claim 4 wherein the lock plate includes a lock plate slot coextensive with and aligned with the door plate slot, and the lock plate includes a latch lug fixedly mounted to the lock plate directed through the latch plate slot and the door plate slot and slidably mounted within the latch plate slot and the door plate slot. 
     
     
       6. A hand gun safety storage cabinet as set forth in claim 5 wherein the latch plate includes a plurality of lock plate slide plates mounted in adjacency to the latch plate second side, with the latch plate slidably mounted over one of said lock plate slide plates and the lock plate extension plate mounted over one of said lock plate slide plates to space the lock plate and the extension plate relative to the latch plate. 
     
     
       7. A hand gun safety storage cabinet as set forth in claim 6 wherein a first hook member and a second hook member are mounted to the rear wall, wherein the first hook member includes a C-shaped recess, and the second hook member having a tang projecting from the second hook member, wherein the C-shaped recess and the tang are arranged in a spaced parallel relationship relative to one another to accommodate a pistol therebetween in a spaced relationship relative to the floor of the container.
